Hackerteen is a graphic novel that is generating a lot of buzz in California right now. And Hackerteen is also an educational project based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Hackerteen offers distance learning classes intended to share knowledge related to free software ethics, developing an entrepreneurial mindset and technology skill sets. Hackerteen is a good example of the emerging open source culture in Brazil and demonstrates how the free software mindset impacts society-at-large. Hackerteen is available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The free software movement in Latin America is preparing a new generation of computer programmers who will certainly have a major advantage over students from the United States, who get a very superficial technology education based on closed, proprietary software.
